Four Brutal Days Backpacking in Idaho's Toughest Wilderness (and a rookie mistake)

Описание: Be sure to check out Travis ‪@mountainwanderer‬
Backpacking in Idaho’s remote Mallard Larkins Pioneer Area turned into a true test of grit when I forgot one of the most essential pieces of gear: my hiking poles. What followed was a mix of brutal climbs, rough brush, bad weather, and a knee that just wouldn’t cooperate — making this trip feel cursed from the start. Come along as Travis and I push through the challenges, share some of the most rugged scenery in Idaho, and reflect on how small mistakes can snowball into big lessons on the trail.
